Industry Canada

In 1982, MET became one of the first labs licensed by Industry Canada to perform certification testing. MET tests products and submits the required documentation to Industry Canada in accordance with the Canadian regulations CS-03.

European Market

The European Commission’s Radio and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment Directive (R&TTE Directive) frees the manufacturer of telecommunications equipment from relying on government appointed Notified Bodies in order to sell their equipment in Europe. Under the R&TTE Directive, manufacturers can now self-certify, relying on the test lab of their choice to verify compliance to harmonized ETSI TBR standards. MET clients can now simultaneously test to European ETSI standards while testing in North America for Canadian and FCC certification.

Hong Kong

All three of MET’s laboratories have Recognized Testing Agency (RTA) status with Hong Kong’s OFTA (Office of Telecommunications Authority). All three locations are allowed to conduct evaluation tests of analogue and digital wireline equipment.
